Sample Disclosure – Note On Effect Of Adopting FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (5 April 2011)

Prior to 1 January 2010, information about financial instruments was disclosed in accordance with the requirements of FRS 132 Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation. The Group and the Company adopted FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“FRS 7”) as at 1 January 2010.

It requires the disclosure of qualitative and quantitative information about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, including sensitivity analysis to market risk.

The Group and the Company have applied FRS 7 prospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS 7 and therefore, the comparatives have not been applied with the requirement of new disclosures under FRS 7. The new disclosures are included throughout the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Sample Disclosure – Accounting Policy Of Operating Segments Reporting (17 March 2011)

Operating Segments

In the previous financial years, the Group deemed a segment as a distinguishable component of the Group that was engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) which was subject to risks and rewards that were different from those of other segments.

Following the adoption of FRS 8 Operating Segments, an operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. An operating segment’s operating results are reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Officer (CEO), acting as the chief operating decisions maker of the Group. The CEO makes decisions about resources to be allocated to a segment of the Group, and assesses its performances, for which discrete financial information is available for him/her to make the decisions.

However, as the Group have remained dormant, the adoption of FRS 8 Operating Segments does not have any impact to the presentations and disclosures required to be made in the financial statements.

Sample Disclosure – Note On Realised And Unrealised Profits (25 February 2011)

Realised and Unrealised Profits

On 25 March 2010, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) issued a directive to all listed issuers pursuant to Paragraphs 2.06 and 2.23 of Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements. The directive requires all listed issuers to disclose the breakdown of the retained profits or accumulated losses as at the end of the reporting period, into realised and unrealised profits or losses.

On 20 December 2010, Bursa Malaysia further issued guidance on the disclosure and the format required.

The breakdown of retained profits of the Group and of the Company as at the reporting date, into realised and unrealised profits, pursuant to the directive, is as follows:

The determination of realised and unrealised profits is based on the Guidance of Special Matter No. 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosures Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants on 20 December 2010.

Accordingly, the unrealised retained profits of the Group and of the Company as disclosed above excludes translation gains and losses on monetary items denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and foreign exchange contracts, as these gains and losses are incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Group and of the Company, and are hence deemed as realised.

The disclosure of realised and unrealised profits above is solely for complying with the disclosure requirements stipulated in the directive of Bursa Malaysia and shall not be applied for any other purposes.

Sample Disclosure – Note On Reserves (17 February 2011)

RESERVES

i.             Share premium arose from the issuance of 10,575,000 shares of RM1.00 each at a premium of RM0.15 per share, net of listing expenses.

ii.            Asset revaluation surplus arose from revaluation of freehold land and buildings and leasehold building in the previous years.

iii.           In accordance with the Finance Act 2007, the single tier income tax system became effective from Year of Assessment 2008. Under this system, tax on profits of companies profit is a final tax, and dividends paid are exempted from tax in the hands of the shareholders. Unlike the previous imputation system, the recipient of the dividend would no longer be able to claim any tax credit.

Companies without Section 108 tax credit balance will automatically move to the single tier tax system on January 1, 2008. However, companies with such tax credits are given an irrevocable option to elect for the single tier tax system and disregard the tax credit or to continue to use the tax credits under Section 108 account to frank the payment of cash dividends on ordinary shares for a period of 6 years ending December 31, 2013 or until the tax credits are fully utilised, whichever comes first. During the transitional period, any tax paid will not be added to the Section 108 account and any tax credits utilised will reduce the tax credit balance. All companies will be in the new system on January 1, 2014.

As of the balance sheet date, the Company has not elected for the irrevocable option to disregard the Section 108 tax credits. Accordingly, subject to the agreement of the Inland Revenue Board and based on the prevailing tax rate applicable to dividend, the Company has sufficient Section 108 tax credit and tax exempt income as mentioned in Note XX to frank approximately RM525,000 of the Company‟s retained earnings as of 31 November 2010 if distributed by way of cash dividends without additional tax liability being incurred. Any dividend paid in excess of this amount during the transitional period will be under the single tier tax system as explained above.
